Sophronia, Sidheag and the rest of the the girls and sooties, plus Mrs Barnaclegoose up to more intrigues and adventures. I am having a fun time and laughing lots, I love these characters and the series. Gail Carriger is such an adroit writer and she always comes up with a lot of fabulous situations for Sophronia to get in and out of, more power girl!! ;0

Sophie says that she 'didn't like Jack Mathison'... but 'felt a warm, fluttery feeling inside her chest' and of all the men in the world, 'why did she have to pick this one to be attracted to' Jack on the other hand is very much " 'raised eyebrows ' So you think I look good' " won't they make a happy couple? adventure in the jungles of Costa Rica, suspense and romance all here in this book

Started off with pirate leader cursing the village of Dasalin for murdering the pirates in 1881... with one young 8 year old boy trying to dig holes in the sand to free the pirate leader before the sea kills him and because of this he is found curled up on the beach crying but at least he's safe
Next it's 1956 meet Antonio Pulido who brings the priest to the village church on his tricycle 1st to meet him!

This book is definitely an adrenaline rush just like the title says! It is Fast & Furious/ Hunger Games/Saw/The Robe Adrenaline Rush has it all NOT for the faint of heart but it is very Well Done and Well Worth the Read! I am finding all the characters to be fascinating and everyone is different! Love it!

Solstice is a fascinating dystopian world where it has been raining for over 30 years, Jezebel James has been given the Carrier Key which will help stop the flooding if she is successful if not it will be the end of her world. Full of intrigues and an all encompassing government called The Legislature who control the populace by means of a tracker called Harmony which suppresses emotions! An excellent story, loved it

A rare book that is an exceptional story with lots of plot twists and turns to keep all romance fans occupied and even those like me who do not usually follow the genre loving Grace, our brutally honest and truthful heroine.

Explosive incidents leading up to the climax at the end, a tale of courage and hope and love. 5 stars

Day 28.. '115 miles, (unless we can figure out how to get around the men on a straighter line), 50 gallons'. it's not going well for Josie I don't expect her to survive much longer her health is terrible now! my hand is not doing well and it's 21 days since I saw Paul...

Ms. Plaidy puts just the right amount of love between Isabella & Ferdinand but after having 3 daughters it seems like they are using them as bargaining chips to turn all countries around them into their pawns and under their thumb and Rome's pope especially with the Spanish Inquisition they are turning into tyrants!

"At fifty, I stopped, dropped my pack, went back for the locket. I felt naked without it" the start of day 4... enjoyable book up to page 109 Day 13.
